A Funny Old Beg.

A certain Captain Baculard left
Marseilles for China, but being buff
feted by the winds, he hauled up in
the harbor of Tunis to await weather.
The collector OF the port came on
board. Captain Baculard represented
that he was freighted for Canton, that
he had nothing to do with Tunis, and
that he only put In from stress of
weather. But the collector exhibited
manifest necessity that he should fork
over. Captain Baculard did fork over
in a rage, but instantly repaired to the
palace of the Bey, demanding justice.
"Good Frank" said the Bev, 81 am

"Highness," answered Captain Bac-

the Bey; ''in this country, when we

WHAT TO NAME YOUR GIRLS.

Young girls generally like to be
called pet names, and it is real nice
for awhile, but as they grow older
they learn to dislike them. 1t is
then too late to shake them of,
and they have to bear them, pa
tiently or impatiently. Pet names
are only fit for children, and we're
they outgrown, as are pinafores
and ee-breeches, they would not
be so Objectionable.
Young men are prone to call
their sweethearts all sorts of pet
names. They may be honest
enough, but, like other forms OF
taffy, this soon clogs on the taste.
"Birdiev is quite a favorite name
with some people, and one that
sounds real nice when applied to a
bright little girl, but it doesn't look
nearly 30 we'll on marriage certifi-
cate as in a school book, nor sound
az we'll with Mrs. pre6xed to it..
When you hear the name you In
variably associate it with a child,
and are disappointed to find that it
belongs TO a matron, or old maid.
"Mame" is another suggestive
name. You feel that it ought to
apply to a tom-boy. It does not
apply to baby nor a matron.
"Maud" is always suggestive of
listlessness, poetry, and Ice cream,
and consequently does not apply to
infants nor to elderly ladies. There
is such suggestiveness of affection
about 1t that it robs grandmother
of her charms.
"Aunt Maud jones' sounds fiat
and unattractiye. "Aunt Becky
Jones" is very much better. "Becky'
and business seem to 60 together,
while "Rebecca" is suggestive of
womanly strength, domestic turn,
and devotion. "Sarah" is another
name that commands respect. 1t
is suggestive Of moral force, good
ness of heart, and faithfulness, and
applies to all stages of life.
Did it ever occur to you that the
disposition and manner of a person
have much to do with the form a
name takes 7 II girl named Sarah
developes into rough and reckless
creature she is called "Sal y bat II
she is mild or weak, her name nat
uralIy developes into "Sallie;' or
into an odd, independent woman,
it will be spelled with a n.y."
There are a great many names
on the list which might be shown
to have taken their form from the
disposition of the person wearing
them. Care should always be taken
when selecting a name for a girl to
choose one that will sound we'll
when she becomes a mother OF
MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch.

The Poultry Monthly affords the
following seasonable hints: If your
hens have not been laying well,
you mayfind the cause Of it to be
from a want of a variety of food.
Change it as often as possible (;
give a liberal supply of wheat, and
don't forget to add vegetables and
meat three times a week to the bill
of fare. Give up the use OF corn
at this time. There is great danger
of breeding hens becoming too tat.
II they are, you will get no fertile
eggs, or they will only produce
weak, puny chicks. Keep them
hungry and busy at work all day
hunting their feed.

THE CUT-WORNS.

AS the growing season opens,
complaints come of the ravages Of
"cut.worm," with inquiries as to
their treatment, beginning with
cuItivators at the South, and com.
ing from farther North as the sea-
son advances. We are so generally
asked about "the cut-worm," that
it is evidently the popular idea
that there is but one insect deserv.
ing this name, while, in fact, there
arr half dozen more, all Larvae OF
different species Of moths. Practi.
cally they might be regarded as
one, did not some of them ascend
trees, shrubs and other plants in
their destructive work, while most
of them conAne their operations to
the surface, and work their mis-.
chief by cutting off young and ten.
der plants even with the ground.
Their work is done at night, and,
as daylight approaches, they hide
themselves in holes in the ground.
Cabbage, when first set out, and
lettuce and other plants OF the gar
den, up to squasbes, and other
plants of the farm, are attacked by
them. Growing muskmelons and
watermelons for Northern markets,
is now an important industry in
the Southern States, especially
within easy reach of the shipping
ports, some hundreds of acres being
occupied by watermelOns alone
The grower of melons, as well az
Of csbbages, etc, finds that his
greatest obstacle to success in the
attacks of Cut.worms. Various de.
vices have been proposed to ward
of their attacks, but among these,
none appear to be so sensible, or sc
effective, as that devised by DR.. A,

for the South" Doctor Oemler
